Germaine de Randamie defends the Women's Bantamweight title!
I am disappointed with the level of destruction Kaufman took here. Was hoping she would pull off the win. I am unabashedly biased against Germaine, and for Canadians. And especially against Germaine.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
